What’s your favorite flavor of Pringles? There may seem like there are too many to count, let alone choose a favorite. Have you ever thought about what a ramen-flavored potato chip might taste like, though? As it turns out, Top Ramen has, because it’s introduced its very own Pringles flavor. Yes, Top Ramen Pringles. They join the ranks of wasabi seaweed, T-bone steak and a swath of other weird and wonderful flavors, probably some you’ve never tried before.

The Top Ramen noodles are from Nissin, who brought you Cup Noodles as well. The official flavor isn’t just “ramen” though, it’s Nissin Top Ramen Chicken, to be specific. Honestly, what probably happened here is Nissin sent over a whole bushel of chicken-flavored ramen powder and dumped it over a bushel of Pringles, right? That has to be the only explanation.

Because that’s what you do with regular Top Ramen. You cook your ramen noodles and then add the flavor powder to the noodles and soup before you dig in. The broth is delicious of course, but it’s really trash food for when you don’t want or have anything else on hand. It’s good in a pinch, and sometimes it’s delicious if that’s what you’re craving. But on Pringles? That might be a little weird.

If you want to try out the Pringles and see what they taste like (and don’t have plain Pringles on hand with ramen seasoning around), you can head to the Dollar General and try them out, as that’s currently the only place you can get the chips. That’s the only place they sold the coveted Lisa Frank adult coloring books too, weirdly enough.
